Shoei VFX-EVO Sparkle Helmet

Get ready to rumble in the arena with the Shoei VFX-EVO Helmet, the next iteration of the popular VFX-W. The VFX-EVO’s liner incorporates the unique M.E.D.S. (Motion Energy Distribution System), a specially inserted module of the EPS liner designed to absorb sudden impacts by reducing rotational acceleration to the head in the event of a crash. Shoei's in-house testing showed rotational energy to be reduced by 15% in comparison to that of the VFX-W off-road helmet. The shell is constructed with high performance AIM+ (Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus Multi-Fiber), a combination of fiberglass and organic fibers. The result is a rigid, ultra-lightweight, yet elastic structure.

The mudguard is specially shaped so as not to interfere with the wearing of goggles. Dedicated plastic tabs help hold the mud guard firmly in place during serious off-road riding conditions. The braced nose cover has been designed to improve safety: it features mesh to filter dirt and dust, and aluminum mesh to prevent roost from entering the mouth and is easily removed for cleaning and maintenance. The VFX-EVO’s newly-designed, adjustable visor designates the top position on the helmet as default, based on the preference of many top-ranked riders. A straight line is formed from the visor top to the helmet shell to ensure upward visibility. The adjustment system is facilitated with a special screw fixing nut, installed beneath the upper center of the visor, holding it firmly in place and keeping the nut from coming loose and falling into the helmet.

Features:

• Design Concept: The world’s most evolved motocross helmet has evolved. Fully loaded with next-level performance, safety, style and progression, the all-new VFX-EVO proudly boasts the SHOEI-exclusive Motion Energy Distribution System [M.E.D.S.]—strategically engineered to reduce rotational acceleration energy to the head in the event of an accident. Completely reimagined and re-engineered without sacrificing an ounce of the quality and performance that have given SHOEI motocross and off-road riders championship-worthy confidence for nearly a decade, the all-new VFX-EVO defines the future of performance.
• Safety: Few characteristics of a motorcycle helmet are as critical as its first-layer of defense, which is precisely why the all-new VFX-EVO features the SHOEI-exclusive Multi-Ply Matrix AIM+ Shell construction. Combine that with the proprietary, SHOEI-exclusive Motion Energy Distribution System [M.E.D.S.], and the all-new VFX-EVO sets a new standard for safety and performance.
• Shield Design + Aerodynamics: Thanks to a new state-of-the-art shell forming technology exclusive only to SHOEI, the VFX-EVO incorporates the aerodynamic advantages of a spoiler into its shell, and consistent shell thickness guarantees the proper strength and weight of each and every helmet.
• Ventilation Performance: Racing environments can be extremely hot and fatiguing, which is precisely why next-level ventilation performance was a top priority when conceptualizing the VFX-EVO. Developed in SHOEI’s in-house wind tunnel to realize optimal vent port shapes, sizes and locations, the VFX-EVO’s advanced ventilation performance has been optimized to excel in the most demanding conditions.
• Comfort: The VFX-EVO is equipped with a fully removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable 3D Max-Dry Interior System that combines a plush fit and secure hold while absorbing and dissipating sweat 2x faster than traditional nylon interiors.
• Motion Energy Distribution System (M. E. D. S.): The proprietary, SHOEI-exclusive Motion Energy Distribution System (M. E. D. S.) features a dual-layer, multi-density EPS liner that (in addition to preserving the lightweight, impact absorbing characteristics of SHOEI's traditional EPS systems) has been specially engineered to reduce rotational acceleration energy to the head in the event of an accident. Anchored by a larger center column, the inner layer of the dual-layer system swings during impact, allowing its three strategically-designed perimeter columns to absorb the energy. The end result is a significant reduction of rotational forces to the rider's head without sacrificing an ounce of quality or performance.
• Energy Quick Release System (E. Q. R. S.) This helmet features an emergency quick release system that enables emergency medical personnel to safely and effortlessly remove the cheek pads, allowing for the helmet to be gently lifted off an injured rider's head while placing minimal strain on the rider's neck. 

Specs:

• Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) shell construction combines high performance fibers with organic fibers to create a shell structure that is lightweight, rigid and resilient
• Expanded rib shapes across the rear enhances strap-holding performance for goggle wearers
• Four shell sizes increase fit options that help comfortably fit most head sizes
• Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel and rider testing
• Extra front intake vents combine with rear exhaust outlet vents and an enlarged neck outlet vent to maximize flow-through ventilation
• Cool air passes through the front intake vents, cools the helmet interior, and is exhausted through the rear vents by the force of negative air pressure
• 3D Max-Dry removable liner system material absorbs two times its weight in moisture
• E.Q.R.S. (Emergency Quick Release System) features special straps under the cheek pads which allow them to be easily removed, so the helmet can be quickly taken off by emergency personnel after an accident
• Aggressively shaped, streamlined V-470 visor is easily installed or removed with three external screws, using the center screw to adjust for optimal visibility
• M.E.D.S (Motion Energy Distribution System), a flexible insert that helps absorb sudden impact to the head in the event of a crash
• Larger mouth piece for improved air intake
• Ergonomically shaped mudguard
• Snell M2015 and DOT approved
